The TOUCH OF A MOTHERS
HAND.-Why is mothers hand on
the head of sick child 80 soothing?
Because her love supplies electricity,
which is a curative force and tonic.
Animal electricity is an agency not
so we'll understood as it should be
by women, though they use it con-
tinually. 1t is enormously confound-
ed with the massage treatment,
which is nothing more or less than
merely rubbing the entire body.
Animal electricity is impaired by
careful manipulation of the muscles,
performed by gently stretching. them
with both hands. This produces an
elasticity Of action which causes
them to rise, thereby increasing their
power to act.
Women, whose fingers are supple
and yet strong, can best impart elec-
tricity to their children. The treat
nent should be applied mainly with
the fingers. When the nerves are
Frustrated they can be invigorated
in the same way. They should be
gently pressed in one direction and
another, which tends to increase
their vitality. The general circula-
tion can be increased by lightly NOV
ing the hands over the surface of the
blood vessels, not rubbing them
briskIy, but using enough force to
quicken the circulation. Women
can become thorough animal electri-
clans if they will but devote them
selves to a careful study of anatomy.
The world is full of half invalid
women, who should be restored to
health by this natural method.-Wo-
mans Ar0OSu.

Robes de Mutt in Germany.

Before I went abroad was of the opin-
ion that the use of robes de mutt was
nearly universal in all civilized communi-
ties, but an incident that happened while
was in Germany taught me that my sup.
position was false one. lived for some
months in house where about twenty
German students had their rooms, and
found them very gentlemanly set of fel-
lows and apparently quite sufficiently
civilized. For some time I had noticed
that my supply of night shirts seemed
to be smaller than it should be,
and finally took my washerwoman to
task She declared that she had returned
every garment that had come into her
hands l said that number of mine
were missing, and suggested that she
might have by mistake sent my night
shirts to some of the boarders. ''Oh no,
SIR" she replied. THAT cannot be, for
you are the only gentleman in the house
that ever wears them" l could scarcely
believe this statement, but was convinced
of its truth next day, when I found that
scarcely shop in the city kept this article
for sale, the reason given being that the
demand was very slight. / have come to

something glittered on her wedding fin

"Mother, father, let me introduce to

4 FAMOUS BUFFALO RANGE
From the Red buttes onward you see
where the millions have gone. This
was once famous buffalo range, and
now the bleaching skeletons lie scat
tered thickly along all the trail.
Like CHASTITY monuments of slaugh-
ter, these ugly excrescences stand out
in bold relief on the smooth, hard
surface of the prairie, from the huge
bull skeletons lying close beside the
wagon trail, to those far back in. the
bad lands, where they are merely
dark specks in the distance. They
lie to-day precisely as they fell four
years ago, except that the flesh is no
longer upon them. The head stretch
es far forward, as if for its last gasp,
and the legs lie helplessly upon the
turf with precisely the same curves
as when they moved for the last
time.
Now and then you come to a place
where the hunter got "stand" on
"bunch," and from his hiding place
in the head of a gully or among the
rocks, fired leisurely with his 40-l20
Sharp's rifle, at the rate of a shot ev-
cry two or three minutes until every
buffalo of the bunch had fallen.
Here you can count seventeen skele-
tons on little more than an acre, and
near by are four more that evidently
fell at the same time. The power
full effect of the strong, parching
winds and the intense dry heat of
summer has literally stripped the
flesh from the bones, but the skele-
tons lie precisely as they fell. The
bones are still held together by few
dried up ligaments, but are bleached
as white as ssnow.- w.-CosmopoHtan.

THE FRENCH PRESIDENCY.

The President of the French Re-
public is elected for a full term Of
seyen years, by a joint convention
or Congress of the Senate and Cham
ber of Deputies. There are no stated
dates for the beginning and ending
of the term of Office, as in this coun-
try, and when vacancy occurs by
death or resignation, the new incum-
bent is elected for the full term of
seven years. Marshal MacMahon
was originally elected president by
the old Assembly on May "a, 1873,
after the overthrow of NJ. Theirs.
His election was for an indefinite
term, but on November 10, 1873, he
was again elected for the def
mite period of seven years. This
was before the adoption of the pres
ent Constitution, which provides for
the division of the assembly into a
Senate and Chamber of Deputies,
and the election of President by a
Congress of these two bodies. Mar
shal McMahon's term would not have
expired until November 10, 1880,
but he was. compelled to resign
January, 1879, as an alternative to
consenting to govern the country
through Republican Ministry, and
NJ. Grevy was elected his successor
on the Goth of that month. In De-
cember, 1885, just before the expira-
ration of his first term, NJ. Grevy
was reelected, and his present term
would not expire by limitation until
January 30, 1893.
Grevy resigned few days ago, in
consequence of complications arising
from the accepting of bribes by his
son-in-law, NJ. Wilson, and NJ. Sadi
Carnot has been elected to fill out
whole term of seven years if he can
steer the ship safely through the
narrow channel between Monarchy
and Republicanism.
This, in brief, is an explanation of
the "French crisis" to which the
daily papers have so frequently re-
ferred recently.
The President of the French Re-
public is we'll paid for his services.
He receives a salary of 100000 francs
(s12O,OOO) a free residence in the Ely
see palace, and an allowance of $780,
900 francs (S60,000) for household
expenses. His powers are large, al
though circumscribed by the require
ment that every official act must be
countersigned by a minister.

quentIy he was so much under the
influence of liquor that his acts and
appearance were those of maniac.
It was after his character was gone
and his money spent, when his peo-
pie were so exasperated that they
would have nothing to do with him,
that Paul Lincke, an intelligent and
respected farmer living near Aurora,
in Beaufort county, offered him the
hospitality Of his house. Potts glad
ly accepted the kindness, but repaid
it with an abuse of hospitality, gross
and objectionable. He alienated
from his benefactor the love of his
wife and destroyed the purity of his
home. His association with the
faithIess wife of his friend culmina-
ted in the murder of Mr.. Lincke,
who was killed by Potts on the night
of June 7th last.
